“Secret Service Missed 102 Warnings Before Trump Assassination Attempt in Butler: Report”
Followed by mass firings?
I would much rather know if it was incompetence or there was an agenda to miss these things on purpose.
Yes, a couple people shot at Trump. Does that count as “mass”?
“Hearn, a three-time Olympic canoeist”
That’s a sport?
If rowing in sculls is a sport, why not paddling in canoes?
I think canoes also do the whitewater courses like kayaks.
It’s called Indigenous Ways of Sporting.
a statement from his laywers
lol
It never happened. But the vandalism charge was overblown and mostly peaceful. We demand people finish the job of tearing up Trumphitler’s fascist racist reflecting pool.
Or it did happen and that is a good thing.
“That’s a sport?”
Yes, it is. Whitewater slalom is one of my favorite Olympic events.
“Predictably, the vast majority of Republicans, 85 percent, said they would not vote for a “Democratic Socialist,” but most Democrats, 62 percent, said they would do so. Further, only 11 percent of Democrats said they would not, and over a quarter, 27 percent, said they are “not sure.”
So 15% percent of Republicans would?
RINOs.
If you count the “not sure”.
Mind you, there are dumbasses in every group.
I would not be t all surprised if 15% of any group being polled miss-read or heard the question, or simply could not read it at all and selected randomly. In fact I would be very surprised if less than 15% did.
Also put Push Polls in this category.
The answer is to move things, not explain things.
Scott Adams always said the floor on any poll was 25%.
100% would say they would never vote for a fascist, yet almost 100% of our elected officials are some degree of fascists.
So 15% percent of Republicans would?
I rather think that this gives you an empirical idea of the true uncertainty, including systematic, associated with surveys and polling.

I know, I know. Most of the consumer base is apathetic and doesn’t get the negative impact of the change.

Did it shout “Banzai?”
I am more familiar with the common suicide squirrels around here.
I’ll try, but sometimes it’s depressing.
Government is how people with no skills other than snake oil salesman skills/options make bank.
We had a road rage shooting a couple of days ago. Two guys got into a dick measuring contest on the highway and one ends up shooting and killing the other. The shooter is claiming self defense but given the details I see prison in his future.
Farek sped past Sherman’s SUV on the left shoulder. Sounds like Sherman started it by clogging the passing lane. If a Prius passes you on the shoulder, you should probably get out of the passing lane.
Farek started it – the other guy retaliated in kind. I thought it was interesting that the police used FLOCK camera history to determine the Farek drove past his usual exit in order to follow the other the guy. You can’t chase someone down and then claim self defense.
Sherman retaliated in kind after Farek’s initial pass, but it could be argued Sherman started it by blocking the left lane. I agree legally Farek is toast with his subsequent actions, but understand his frustration with left lane blockers. I have used the shoulder to pass but never follow up with a brake check. You’re either trying to get somewhere or not.
Something tells me he had prison in his future no matter what happened here.
^^^^THIS^^^^
These are the moves of a fucking spoiled and angry 3 year old.
Which is nice, but that just means that whatever illegal ballots were in the pile were also counted three times. The problem isn’t miscounting*, it’s fraudulent ballots.
*Well, maybe there is also miscounting, but that’s not the main problem.
That seems to be the biggest pretend stupid from the left you get. But we recounted n times!! The problem isn’t with the counting obviously – even these idiots are not that stupid to just make up numbers cause they will get caught – it is with the validity of the ballots…
/libtards: BUT EVERY VOTE COUNTS!!
No, in fact it is far better that fewer people vote than we count everyone’s votes. Ballot harvesting needs to end.
Weekend at Mitch’s?
He must be negotiating with the devil about the afterlife..
Mitch, Ol’ Bud, there’s a reason to retire when you can. You lost 20-30 years of enjoyment. Your only legacy will be remembered as the dumb ass that hung around.
You see, the country thrives with or without you.
Oh, no, Mitch loved bossing people around.
He had incredible power. He was the heart of the RINOs. That movement will collapse without him, so he rose the lightning to the end.
“A Maine couple took matters into their own hands when they witnessed a behemoth black bear chasing a terrified moose calf at full speed — driving in between the wild animals to scare away the predator….
Todd noted he didn’t want to hurt the bear but wanted to drive the truck between the animals to free the moose.
The bear suddenly leaped to the side and hobbled off into the woods after the intervention.
“My heart was racing because I did not want to witness the bear catching the calf,” Elvia Malcolm said.”

Why take sides here?
Sounds like they managed to injure the bear. Good chance the bear doesn’t survive.
If the moose cow wasn’t around, good chance the moose calf doesn’t survive either.
“Why take sides here?”
Either they feel letting the bear eats keeps the bear alive to maraud, or they are disney nature idiots.
Sounds like you think they should just Bear Witness then.
Bare witness? Why I never…anticipated that much change in the courts.

Wicked Witch of the Middle East?
Love the “alleged ties to terrorism abroad” line. I guess you just can’t rule out that the head of the IRGC has clean hands.
He might sue them for slander!
We should have bombed that event and killed the lot of these devil worshippers.
Well I rented myself a dollar rent a car. If I die driving in your country I will haunt your ass.
Just don’t be dumb, and you should be fine Pie. Be careful if you are forced to only travel at night cause you ran out of sun screen..
Aren’t you already dead?
(hush, he doesn’t know)
Does this mean you know when you’d be where? Or have a rough idea?
Well yes that was the whole point to join the July get together at OWMC/Spud et all. Not just a random drive in the states.
I was just fishing for confirmation of the dates to see if I could make it out to the gulch area.
I mean I am not sure if they are secret or something 🙂 but I should arrive on July 24
Stay a little longer and meet up with the HH gang. Fall is a nice time of the year.
You are in the wrong side of the country to haunt me. No worries.
Sorry wasn’t here last night, but now I get to fix a car in a 100 degree garage.
Woo hoo!
I LOVE car repair in the heat.
I am ferrying my wife around today, 100+ miles to attend a birthday party. Much more comfortable.
I replaced a transmission in an unheated garage at about 10F. You had to hold your breath to stop the fog so that you could read the size of the socket.
I’ve done that too. Hated both. I prefer a comfortable garage.
“Temperatures inside City Hall plunged as low as 54 degrees Thursday during the ongoing heat wave — despite Mayor Zohran Mamdani urging New Yorkers to set their air conditioners to a balmy 78, The Post found.”
https://nypost.com/2026/07/02/us-news/mamdani-cant-even-get-city-hall-to-stick-to-his-78-degree-ac-rule-as-temps-in-building-hit-as-low-as-54/
Some animals are more equal than others.
I hate the commie as much as anybody. But large old office and commercial buildings never have perfectly even temperatures.
Buried in the NYP hit piece is that most of the building was at the planet saving temperatures within a few degrees.
The heat envelope on those buildings does not match construction (more people + computer systems = increased temps) and they aren’t set up for proper air flow in either winter or summer.
In fact, this is a huge chunk of what used to be called “sick building” syndrome, as the improper ventilation often allow mold, which lead to disease spread.
Immigrants are raising housing prices so the free market isn’t working.
I would have thought more cheap labor would reduce the price of food, etc, including housing.
See, Mandamammy gets it right. Rent is too damned high!
You may think you’re ready for Friday Funbags but you’re now.
